It's October, so it's time for some spooky tales of
how Science is Stranger Than Fiction: Death and
the Afterlife with Dr. Leslie New from WSU
Vancouver.
Content warning: lots of discussion of dead bodies, murder,
trepanning (pre-historic brain surgery), anatomical models,
mummies, grave robbing, books made of human skin, and many of the
exhibits in the Mutter Museum.
Visit our website to see some of the pictures and links to books and organizations mentioned during the talk.

As always, a final thanks to Jonathan Coulton for the use of his song Mandelbrot Set as our theme music.
